Description
Flexible Manufacturing Systems (FMS) involve substituting machines capable of performing a wide and redefinable variety of tasks for machines
dedicated to the performance of specific tasks. FMS can also be programmed to handle new products, thus extending the machines' life
cycles. Thus they represent a change from "standardized goods produced by customized machines" to "customized goods produced by standardized
machines". This volume contains new and updated material in this field, and will be of great interest to researchers, managers and students
concerned with problems related to flexible manufacturing systems.
Contents
FMS in Perspective.
FMS: an investigation for research and applications (A. Gunasekaran, T. Martikainen, P. Yli-Olli).

Flexibility Issues.
Manufacturing systems: flexibility assessment (A. Raouf, M.F. Anjum). Flexibility and productivity
in complex production processes (S.-O. Gustavsson). Flexibility in pull and push type production ordering systems - some ways to increase
flexibility in manufacturing systems (R. Muramatsu, K. Ishi, K. Takahashi).
FMS Planning.

a review (M. Ben-Daya). Loading models in flexible manufacturing systems (A. Kusiak). Production planning model for a flexible manufacturing
system (P. Chandra). Heuristics for loading flexible manufacturing systems (E.K. Stecke, F.B. Talbot). A framework for developing maintenance
policy for flexible manufacturing systems (A. Raouf).
